I'm working to enable the use of Spring Cloud Config and have everything working. However, I'm seeing INFO messages in my service app logs that shows that the Cloud Config Client is looking to re-load the configuration from the server about every 30 seconds. I cannot find anything in the docs or even in the code to suggest why this is happening. I really don't want my services polling the config server nearly that often, and ideally I'd like to turn it off, so I have some more control over when a config refresh happens.
Anyone have any ideas?
When the \health endpoint is called on a config client, it reaches out to the config server to pull new configuration. Service discovery tools like Eureka or Consul poll said endpoint, causing this issue.
You can stop the config client from reaching out to the config server by setting this property in your bootstrap.yml/bootstrap.properties:
health.config.enabled=false
